Ing ~.
ESPECIAL TO TIVE AprrAL.1


MIDDLBBUsH, N. j., September
10.-The FIRST State in which mem
bors OF the Grange have taken formal
action in testing the interstate com
merce law is Vermont. State Mas
ter Alpha Messer, representing the
State Grange, started the ball in
motion by addressing Gov. Ormsbee,
calling his attention to the fact that
Canadian products are carried over
the railroads Of the State to Boston
and other markets at lower rates of
freight than those charged Vermont
farmers for a shorter distance. The
result has been, the State Grange
has entered formal complaint against
the Central Vermont aud other rail
roads for violation Of the interstate
commerce law. Under the State law
the Governor has the power TO as
sign counsel on behalf OF the State
TO assist the Grange in presenting the
matter before the commission, and
exercising this right Gov. Ormsbee
has appointed the Hon. Kittridge
Haskins, who is preparing the case
for the State Grange, and United
States Senator Edmunds will make
the argument before the commission.
This will be a test case of the law
and will be watched with much in
terest, IL is encouraging TO know
that the Governor and the people of
the whole State will, with the aid Of
eminent legal talent, defend her
farmers from injustice. That the re-.
suit will be on the side Of justice
and right is the wish Of all friends of
good government.

He Causes Trouble in a Metropolitan
Chnrch-A Funny Phase.
NEW YORK, September 20. There seems
10 be lots of trouble ahead for the Church
of the Holy Trinity. The quarrel with
Rev. DR.. Stephen Tying threatens TO IA
sumo an unpleasant shape within a short
ime.
DR.. Tying says he is only waiting for
things to yet settled under the new rector
Rev. f. Walpole Warren, 10 take decided
action in the matter. As if a legal fight
with an ex-pastor were not enough, John
s. Kennedy. President Of the st. Andrews
Society, is adding TO the burdens Of the
| church in a novel and startling manner.
Mr.. Warren, the new pastor, comes from
England. Mr.. Kennedy says that the i'm.
p~Ortation Of a minister Of the Gospel il con
trary to the doctrine OF protection Of home
industries, as set forth IN act Of Congress
approved February %, 1856, entitled IAN
act to prohibit the importation and immi.
grafton of foreigners or aliens under con.
tract or agreement TO perform labor in the
United States" &c.
In accordance with this snpposition, Mr..
Kennedy has written to Collector Magone,
calling attention to Mr.. Wanen's 'Impor'
tation" and to the law which he thinks
has been violated. He has nothing what
ever against Mr.. Warren, he says, but a
President Of st. Andrews Society he has
been greatly grieved at the enforcement Of
the law against his countrymen, aud ht
wants it enforced against others in the
same way.

NEW YORK, September 26.-"lf these

me that if her husband, August Spies, goes

As Mrs. Black said this she looked as
though she firmly believed that these wo'
men would carry out their terrible threats,
should their husbands pay the penalty OF
their horrible crime.

tinued, would not result as disastrously

ST. LOUIS, Mo, September ga ma
tional salute from Camp Washington her-
aided the dawn of day and aroused the
army of visitors and the committees whose
duties called them to the early trains. The
clouds that had gathered early Sunday
evening drifted over the city, hut q fine
mist dampened the atmosphere early this
morning and gradually increased into a
steady disagreeable rain, which continues
at this writing. The first trains of the
early morning brought more warriers, more
visitors and many children. The West
and South poured in lis great crowds, as
steadily as the rain dripped through the
clouds.
Kansas with their grasshopper badges
came on in force, joining Nebraska's corn
badged fellows at Camp Washington Park.
The gloom of the day was dispelled by the
fife and the taps OF the drum, while
lively airs from many bands indicated the
spirit that was wrapped up in the blouse
and spangled with brass buttons and cop
per badges. By noon railroads had brought
in ten thousand citizen soldiers and many
more of their household. At the depots
and at the camps all seemed confusion,
but order quickly assumed command and
the search for old regiments and old friends
began at once.

An Indian scout Is Followed and hills one

WASHINGTON, September 26.-The Wal
Department has been made aware for some
time OF threatened trouble at the San Car
los Indian reservation, in Arizona. The
situation there bears a resemblance to that
which existed at the Ute reservation before
Colorow's departure last summer, and in
both cases, the trouble appers TO have
arisen from attempts by the state and ter
ritorial officials TO enforce civil processes
on the Indians. In the present case the
War Department is informed that a con-
stable with forty deputies is endeavoring
to serve the civil process, through al in
terpreter. 1t is believed at the depart
ment that any attempt to arrest the In
dians will lead TO 4 general stampede.
Although nominally under the control
of the Interior Department, the conduct OF
affairs at the San Carlos reservation is
really in the hands Of n captain in the
army. Under his general powers he has
authority to eXpel intruders from the res
ervation, and might refuse to allow the
constable or any other civil officer to cross
the lines of the reservation, but he has nc
| force at his command to enforce an order
of this kind. The following telegram has
been received at the War Department:
SAN CARLOS, Sept. -, Sunset.
Mr.. Portion, Indian trader, was shot by
an Indian scout, who was pursued by
Lieut.. Elliott, Mr.. Portion, Chief ofScOuts,
